The Central Bank of Luxembourg published its consumer survey results showing a decline in the consumer confidence indicator in December 2025, with households reporting a mixed picture across the underlying components. Expectations for the general economic situation in Luxembourg improved slightly (balance -15 versus -16 in November 2025) and expectations for households’ future financial situation strengthened more markedly (2 versus -1), but perceptions of households’ past financial situation deteriorated (-3 versus -1) and intentions to make major purchases fell sharply (-16 versus -1). The overall indicator is the arithmetic mean of the four seasonally adjusted component balances, each defined as the difference between the weighted shares of consumers expecting an improvement and those expecting a deterioration.
